Just thought Id share a bit of my musical likes with you all (whoever "you all" are) :O)





1. Lecrae (Christian Rap)- Rebel
MPO: Best Christian Rap album of the year! And it's not even about the beats. It has all to do with the message. It's conviction for the sinner, and challenging for the saint. If you're a fan of rap -even if it's not Christian rap - you won't be disappointed.
2. Phil Wickham (Alternative Christian) - Cannons
MPO: He is one of the top lyricists of our time. Im new to this artist, so I don't know if he writes his own material, but this album is awesome! True praise and worship sang over nice production.
3. Tenth Avenue North (Alternative Christian) - Over and Underneath
MPO: I came across this album in Walmart while in SC, I picked it up after having read the song titles - By Your Side, Break Me Down, You Are, Hallelujah - need I say more? Needless to say, I was satisfied with my purchase.
4. Addison Road (Alternative Christian/Pop Christian) - Addison Road
MPO: Hot album! They're not as lyrically "heavy" as the previous three, but that may be due to the target audience. The overall message of the album - or so it seems - encourages hope, love, and individuality. "Be who God made you to be" not who society wants you to be. Spread love and be yourself! :O)
_{You can check out the song "It just takes one" at the end of the blog I have learned...}

5. Leeland (Alternative Christian/Pop Christian) - Opposite Way
MPO: This album, much like the last, promotes individuality. Similarly, like Lecrae's Rebel, this album promotes nonconformity - doing the complete opposite of what the world is doing. On Let It Out Now Lee proclaims "God says who you are, not the world or movie stars...everyone has their own sound, let it out now!" - a completely opposite view of the societal "normalcy" of thinking.
6. Wilmington Chester Mass Choir (Gospel/Christian) - Stand Still...
MPO: Classic! For all the right reasons. This album just brings back memories. Not only that, but this album is a great example of what "Gospel" music is about, the message of Christ - not "getting up" and dancing and feeling good. Granted, you're supposed to feel good about the Gospel, but not with the absence of Jesus. Rev. Ernest, Wilmington Chester, great job! :O)


Most slept on Album of the Year!
